Nepal: Human Rights in Perplexity Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION

Human Rights   Opinions

  


Now this is a time to talk about all forms of corruption; economic, social, political, and religious. These issues will be prominent in negotiations- an infected mind set will come to the forefront: people will talk about sacrifice for their country, but they expect to sacrifice from the other side only. All the parties will be engaged in power grabbing strategies, rather than dealing with real and practical issues.

Maoists understand that if democratic forces are marginalized, they can rule for a couple of years, maybe a couple of decades, but after that we will be in the same chaos, and the country will be plunged into a civil war again trying to throw the Maoists out of power. Political negotiations and power sharing is just the beginning. The country should be repaired rapidly; otherwise political peace will mean nothing: “Millions of hungry stomachs can not survive on peace; they need a piece of bread on their plates”.

An energetic civic society is forever needed for leading the community movement, because a strong civic society is the foundation of democratic development and creation of a just and equitable society. In any time of conflict and politics when political leaders fail, it is the civic society that plays the lead role in brining about a tangible and lasting solution to problems facing the nation and community for the betterment of the future. Nepal, too, is not an exception. Maoists should realize the importance and necessity of peace and stability for their long- lasting identifications.

The main formula for the solution of the conflict is peace. War and human rights can not move each other. Where there is war of course, there are violations of human rights. In my opinion, if there are political instabilities, there arise many problems in every field of the country. Taking this view in mind, first of all, we have to clear that multi - party democracy and constitutional monarchy are nature’s gift for Nepal. Thus, the King and political party, to make a clear view go forward, must go hand in hand to solve problems. After finding a common point, they should call the Maoists for peace talks. The Maoists should take part with their agendas with the aid of a mediator from the United Nations (UN). Governments should accept the UN’s proposal for mediation, which serves not only to restore the Maoist problems; but also to reconstruct the perplex constitutional exercise and infrastructure that was damaged during the civil war.

Maoist problems are political and should be solved politically. If there is doubt with any issues, then let's develop the culture to go to the people for the last decision. Let's wake up, it's too late, and take it seriously: we have already lost 12,300 lives and 10 years because the country has wanted peace and improvement through the wrong means.
